Terrorism suspect 'co-operating' with US authorities in al-Qaida probe

US federal authorities say terrorism suspect Iyman Faris is co-operating in the investigation of al-Qaida. Faris pleaded guilty yesterday to terrorism charges and admitted plots against trains and the Brooklyn Bridge.

The 34-year-old Ohio truck driver has acknowledged that he met Osama bin Laden at a terrorist training camp in Afghanistan and worked with other top al-Qaida officials, according to court documents.

When Faris's ex-wife Geneva Bowling found out he had met bin Laden, she said she felt "physically ill".
